Great strides have been made in the expression of proteins for structure and characterization studies, as well as for therapeutics and diagnostics. However, with these strides have come new obstacles. Higher throughput expression and purification, as well as more flexible expression systems and techniques are in even greater demand now to support the needs of the research pipeline. It has become even more important to prevent problems in protein expression by wise choices in data analysis well before the task goes into the laboratory. This conference will explore the newest data and innovations relating to the expression and characterization of proteins for biological understanding and therapeutics, as well as strategies to make the eventual expression of these proteins more effective, efficient and trouble-free.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
Expression Systems:
Cell free
Transient
Microbial
Stable cell lines
Mammalian
Plant
Transgenic animals
Constructs:
Mutagensis (techniques, libraries, selection...)
Vector systems (promoters, tags, signal sequences, chaperones...)
Synthetic genes (codon usage, labeling, modifications, truncations...)
Best application of bioinformatic
BuzZ Sessions
Time has been designated for Interactive Roundtable Discussions with a specific topic assigned to each group. This unique opportunity brings together conference participants from diverse backgrounds and experiences. We are seeking hosts and topics for discussion. Please suggest topic(s) that would be of interest to the entire Protein Expression community.
To give an oral presentation at this conference, please submit a proposal including a title and brief summary about your recent work in the area of Protein Expression.
All proposals are subject to review by the Scientific Advisory Committee to ensure the overall quality of the conference.
If you are interested in presenting, please click here to submit a speaking proposal for review.
Deadline for submission is 10 April 2010.
